'Ready for any Congress role in Bihar polls,' says Pappu Yadav after meeting Rahul, Kharge
The Purnea MP said the party has strong CM faces for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections
New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI) Independent MP from Bihar's Purnea, Pappu Yadav, on Monday said he is ready to play any role the party gives him for the Bihar assembly polls, after a meeting with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and former party chief Rahul Gandhi.
Yadav also told reporters that the Congress had no shortage of faces for the post of chief minister in Bihar.
He mentioned the names of Bihar Congress chief Rajesh Kumar and MP Tariq Anwar as probable Congress faces for the post.
Bihar Congress in-charge Krishna Allavaru and state president Rajesh Kumar were present at the meeting.
This is the first time that Yadav has participated in a meeting regarding the Bihar election. The meeting was held at the Congress's Indira Bhawan headquarters here.
Just a few days ago, during a march against special intensive review in Patna, Pappu Yadav, along with Kanhaiya Kumar, were not allowed to board the truck carrying Mahagathbandhan leaders. Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav were on that truck.
This was the first time Yadav met Rahul Gandhi after the incident.
Yadav said he will do everything possible to take the ideology of Rahul Gandhi to every household in Bihar.
Sources say Yadav also had separate discussions with Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. PTI
